![]() I used our new Smoke Kitchen Honey Garlic Rub, it goes perfectly with ham (not to mention beef, chicken, and fish). You can use a brush to apply the mustard, start on the underside to save getting it on your hands. Since the ham is spiraled, make sure you get the mustard into all the individual slices to make sure everything is nicely coated. The Dijon mustard will give a little flavor to the ham and act as a binder for the seasoning. If you want to avoid a mess all over your hands, make sure you use latex gloves. Slather the dijon mustard onto the ham, making sure to cover the whole thing. I used my Traeger Timberline 1300 for this cook and used Bear Mountain cherry pellets. ![]() You can certainly use the packet it comes with, but I tend to find homemade is always best, and I have a simple recipe that makes the perfect sweet ham glaze. Spiral hams usually come with a glaze packet which is just a mixture of brown sugar, honey, and other ingredients. The pre-smoked hams are usually lacking in the flavor department, so for this recipe, we are going to smoke the ham a second time and give it a boost of flavor. The packaging of the ham will usually tell you what kind of wood it was smoked with and what temperature you need to warm the ham to, which is 140-145☏. I would recommend scoring the ham first before applying the mustard binder and the rub so everything sticks to it well. If you decide you want to use a regular ham you can do that as well and this recipe will still work! You can find spiral cut hams in most grocery stores. This method makes for even slices and a beautiful presentation. Normally a spring-loaded slicing blade cuts around the ham and around the bone making spiral incisions. They are called spiral hams because of the way they are cut. Spiral hams are cut from the leg of the pig and are already pre-cooked and smoked.
